In the Conference SC14 the major market players demonstrate the latest achievements. Intel declared its readiness to begin deliveries of 10 nm processors Xeon Phi generation Knights Hill in the near future. Before that, however, in the next year, the market should begin to develop their 14-nm predecessors generation of Knights Landing, combining up to 72 cores. About Knights Hill said it was extremely small, but we already know that the number of cores and cache volume have increased compared to Knights Landing. Generally, Knights Hill raise performance to a higher level, but the power consumption should be reduced.
Knights Hill processors will support memory type Hybrid Memory Cube and a new optical interface Omni-Path, which is an alternative to the existing InfiniBand. Omni-Path architecture involves the use of 48-port switch, and the information transmission rate of up to 100 Gbit / s. Which protocol will be used for data transmission on optical channel is not specified. All additional details Intel is ready to announce in the future, but for now it only declares confidence in their own abilities.
